Why do we wear seatbelts?

If your mum or dad has a car crash, you might get hurt if you are not wearing a seatbelt. If you are not wearing a seatbelt you might get thrown out of the car.

By Felice

We have to wear seatbelts because if you have a crash you will get injured. We have to wear seatbelts otherwise you will get hurt.

By Brenda

When you wear a seatbelt and you dad presses the brakes you will not hurt yourself because the seatbelt stops you from moving. If you don't wear a seatbelt you will get injured.

By Bruce

Buckle Up

If you break the rule the police will find you and he will give you a ticket.

By Vincent



Week 7

What a busy week. We had Constable Painter at school to teach us about keeping ourselves safe on roads. We learned about seatbelts, booster seats walking in a carpark and crossing a road.

Thank you Constable Painter. We will be writing to you soon.
